How KFSensor works
KFSensor is an Intrusion Detection System. It performs this role by opening ports on the machine it is installed on and waiting for connections to be made to those ports. It does this in exactly the same way as conventional server software, such as a web server or an SMTP server. By doing this it sets up a target, or a honeypot server, that will record the actions of a hacker.
KFSensor is flexible and highly configurable.
There are two main components of the KFSensor system:
KFSensor Server
The KFSensor Server provides the core functionality of the KFSensor system.
It listens to both TCP and UDP ports on the server machine and interacts with visitors and generates events.
The KFSensor Server has no user interface and runs in the background.
KFSensor Monitor
The KFSensor Monitor contains the user interface of the KFSensor system. Using it you can configure the KFSensor Server and monitor the events generated by the KFSensor Server.
